Sarah woke with a start, jumping and almost waking Toby too. She had had the strangest dream.

Looking around her she saw she was in Toby's room, not her own. Like she had been in her dream. "Oh shit!" She rolled away from her sleeping brother and ran quietly round the room to reach the door. Shutting it quietly, she ran down the corridor to her room, hoping what she was thinking was wrong. 'It cant be true!'

Lucy wasn't there.

"Shit!" She went into the room and looked around, went down the corridor and looked in the bathroom, went downstairs and checked the front room. She checked everywhere, but she couldn't find Lucy. "Oh no, what am I gonna do now?!"

Toby came running down the stairs, with the exact same expression Sarah was sure was on her face. "Where's Lucy?!" He said frantically, looking in every room just as Sarah had done. Sarah just stood there in the middle of the room, waiting for him to stop and for realisation to hit.

"It was real then? I wasn't dreaming?" He asked as he walked over to her.

"Yes Tobes, its was real." Her voice was low and she could feel tears starting to prick the back of her eyes.

Toby noticed the look on her face so tried to take control, but he didn't know what he was supposed to do. "What do we do Sarah?"

"There's nothing we can do." She looked down into his eyes, shining like her own with tears. "She's gone."

"Keeper of the Labyrinth. You mean that stupid book?" Lucy leaned back in her chair and regarded the man in front of her. Jareth, as he said to call him.

"That 'stupid book' is based on my Labyrinth. Its Sarah's." Jareth continued eating his food but Lucy didn't feel like eating, it all looked too strange to eat.

"Hang on, I know its Sarah's, I just don't know it got me here." She rose from her seat but a look from Jareth made her sit back down.

"Jeeze do you not know anything?" He chuckled. "What do they teach you in school? How to be a blonde bimbo?"

Lucy listened and saw red. 'How dare he! Is he just trying to say that Im thick?!' "Hey! Firstly, Im not blonde. Secondly, Im not a bimbo. Thirdly, you better apologise for calling me a blonde bimbo!"

Jareth didn't seem to be fazed by her outburst, in fact it made him chuckle more. "I wasn't calling you a blonde bimbo, I simply asked if they taught you that at school. People used to know a lot more about Fae, you seem to know nothing."

"Ok then Goblin King. Enlighten me, what are Fae?" She leaned back in her chair again and crossed her arms over her chest.

He leaned back too, his arms coming to rest on the arms of his chair. "Have you even heard of Fae?"

Lucy laughed slightly. "I have, but you don't really expect me to believe it do you?"

"And what is it you have heard?" He flexed a gloved hand and made Lucy shiver all over. She ignored it and carried on.

"Fae are fairy creatures. You really expect me to believe that load of crud? Fairies don't exist." She sounded as though she was talking to a child, patronising but with a clear message.

He smirked and replied. "Yes they do. Im Fae."

"You're a fairy?" Lucy laughed. "Ok, so this really is a dream. Wow, realistic. Can I wake up now?" As she stood from her chair, Jareth reached over to her and… "Ooow! Why do people keep doing that?!"

"Proves your not dreaming." He tried hard to stifle laughter, but she was just making it impossible.

"Well then…I hit my head, that's it! Im unconscious." Jareth shook his head and she continued. "Ive been drinking, I must be hallucinating." He shook his head again. "I…um…Im…" She stopped herself and slunk back into her chair. "What's going on? This isn't real, there has to be some explanation for this!"

"There is." She looked up, eyes wide. "You wished for it."

She closed her eyes again and let out a long sigh. "But that doesn't make any sense, I didn't make any wish." When she opened her eyes she could see that in Jareth's hand was a book. The book! "Look, Ill prove to you that I didn't wish myself away." She snatched it out of his hand and began flicking through the pages. She found the one she needed and scanned down the page until she found the right line. "See! It says 'I wish the Goblin King would come and take you away. Right now.' " She emphasised the work 'You' but still he looked at her with a blank expression.

"I do know what it says Lucy, I wrote it."

"But…if I said that then I couldn't wish myself away."

"You were looking in the mirror as you said it."

He was right about that. She remembered looking in the mirror while she was reading the book, waiting for Sarah to come back into the room. It played out in her mind, everything as clear as if it had only just happened. She remembered everything. Even the fact that when she spoke the words, she had not been looking at Sarah in the mirror, she had looked away from Sarah right into her own eyes.

"Lucy? Lucy!" Jareth woke her from her thoughts, shaking her arm gently. "There you are, thought Id lost you already, that wouldn't be good."

Her brain was still working overtime. If what he said was true, and she had in fact wished herself away by looking in the mirror, then she could wish herself back, right? Quickly she jumped from her seat and ran to where the door had been. She felt along the wall to see if it was hidden but she found nothing.

'Maybe I don't even need a mirror?'

She turned back to face Jareth and walked back over to him still she was standing right next to his chair. "I wish you would send me home." She spoke clearly, so he would not miss it. Nothing happened, he didn't even move. "I wish the Goblin King would take me home, right now!" She said again, her voice raising slightly. "Go on then. Send me home! I wished to go home so you have to send me home!"

Finally he moved, rising from his seat and walking round to Lucy. She backed away as far as she could until she reached the wall and could go no further. Jareth smirked and moved closer, his head dipping low so he could whisper in her ear. "My dear Lucy. You are home."
